“Listening is a ten part skill” I learned that there are then skills people need to perfect to become good listeners. Skill one says that you need to find a good topic to talk about. Find something that engages both of you. By doing this you will both listen to what each other says. Skill two is basically DO NOT jump to conclusions. Wait to here what the have to say don’t just blurt out something rude because you don’t understand what the person is trying to say. Skill three Don’t get over excited and certainly not to fast. Don’t scare the person your talking to. Skill four Try and focus on the main idea don’t try and listen to one thing and try and remember it because then you will miss the rest. Which might be more important! Skill five don’t just try and learn something one way. Try multiple options to help you get bits of imformation from the speaker. Just try to remember key points. Skill six is do your best to just try and listen! Skill seven don’t get distracted stay focused on the speaker. Skill eight excercise your mind by trying to listen to something hard to pay attention to and stay focused. Skill nine keep your mind open for anyone that tries to talk to you. You might not agree but its the listeners job to just listen. Skill ten try not to think about anything while talking to someone. Just focus because side distractions can lead to more and then your LOST!
